Tokido was introduced to fighting games in the 1990s, when he played The King of Fighters '94 on the Neo Geo MVS. The first Street Fighter game Tokido came in contact with was Street Fighter 2 on the Super Famicom. Although he was a highly successful player in dozens of fighting games, Tokido started to completely shift his focus to Street Fighter as he started to age.

Tokido got into Street Fighter IV late compared to other high-level players. When he did, teammate Daigo Umehara suggested him to pick Akuma, as a character like Ryu would be too difficult for him initially. While maining Akuma, Taniguchi became famous for his vortex tactics and eccentric persona on stage.
